Treatments for adrenal gland cancer
Your healthcare team will create a treatment plan just for you. The plan is based on your health and specific information about the cancer. What you want is also important when planning treatment. When deciding which treatments to offer for adrenal gland cancer, your healthcare team will consider:
- the stage
- the grade
- whether the tumour makes and releases hormones (called a functional tumour) or not (called a non-functional tumour)
- whether the tumour can be completely removed with surgery (is resectable) or can’t be removed with surgery (is unresectable)
Surgery is the main treatment for adrenal gland cancer. Supportive therapy drugs, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are also used to treat adrenal gland cancer.
